Got a call from someone saying they were O2 but sounded like Vodafone, telling me my SIM was expired and they’d be cancelling it soon. Bit fishy if you ask me.

They rang me but I just went ahead and blocked the number.

Beware of scams! Don’t ever answer calls, texts, or emails from numbers you don’t recognise. And seriously, never let anyone record your voice – there are loads of scams using ‘voice cloning’ nowadays, so have a quick look up ‘voice cloning scams’ if you’re unsure. Always report any dodgy calls or messages to the police or Ofcom through their official channels. You can text details of suspicious calls or silent calls with the number involved to 7726, and make sure to reply if they ask for confirmation. Also, make use of your phone’s spam reports to flag suspicious numbers and texts by forwarding them to 7726. For scam emails, forward them to [email protected] and use your email provider’s phishing report feature, usually found via the three dots on the email. It might seem tedious, but the more reports these agencies get from everyone, the better chance they have of stopping these scams. Look up 7726 and the email address to get more info on how to handle these. Stay safe out there!

Got a call from Thames Water, reckon there's a leak nearby or somethin' like that.

I got a call from the police recently, checking in about a crime we had reported. They were really polite and willing to help, which was great.

In just three days, I ran 146 look ups and that says it all for me. Big thanks to who-called-me.co.uk for the help. Blocked now.

Gets through to voicemail every day, even though I've blocked the number, it's pretty annoying.

Got a call from a lady about a job opportunity, she wanted me to save her contact on WhatsApp.

Had a bad run in with one of those PCP scams, just cut the call straight away! Reported them and blocked the number instantly.

I got a message saying my Apple Card was attached to another phone, and it asked me to call this number if I didn’t approve it. I was out having a few drinks when this popped up, so obviously it’s a scam!
